FAQ's

Does Acupuncture Hurt? Most people who have experienced acupuncture feel as though it is painless. Acupuncture needles are hair-thin, unlike the thick hypodermic needles used for shots. After the needle insertion, which some people don't even feel, you may feel sensations, such as warmth, something moving, tingling, or a dull ache. For many people, it is a relaxing experience.How Often Do I Need to Get Treated? The treatment plan will vary, depending on whether the presenting condition is acute or chronic in nature. While most acute conditions can be worked through fairly quickly, chronic conditions often take more time and effort from both the practitioner and the patient. Usually, for chronic conditions, the practitioner will reassess after 4 visits. With both the practitioner and patient working together on an effective treatment strategy, the chances for improvement greatly increase with each treatment.
